Jackie Robinson Day x Mitchell & Ness | Spring 2018
It was an honor to work on this project. Me and my co-worker were tasked with creating a unique collection using some of our Spring 2018 pieces to commemorate the career of the baseball legend, Jackie Robinson. These silhouettes were sold during Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium. All styles were also approved by the Robinson Family which made this very special for us. We pulled research from old baseball pins, programs, baseball cards, vintage comic books as well as iconic moments captured in photos. Below are photos from the project. Enjoy...
